Tips for buying Radiographic Photospot Camera

Before purchasing a
radiographic photospot camera, medical facilities should consider the
types of procedures to be performed and determine the table tilt, travel,
image intensifier size, and image processing methods that will best suit
their needs.

X-ray photospot unit
purchasers should also look into the following issues: heat dissipation
rate, and heat capacity of the x-ray tube anode.

In any given tube, only 0.2%
of the electrical energy delivered to the anode is converted to x-rays;
the rest is converted to heat, which if not quickly dissipated, will
destroy the anode.

Photofluoroscope digital
cameras are used to capture both fluoroscopic and fluorographic images
taken during fluoroscopic exams.

In order to meet the needs of
both photofluoroscopic and photospot images, specifications for x-ray photospot
unit cameras must be as high as possible.

For some advanced
interventional procedures that require longer imaging times, high heat
capacity tubes are especially important. The anode heat capacity should be
at least 350,000 heat units.

Buyers of radiographic
photospot cameras need to consider the focal spot size of the anode. A
smaller focal spot provides better quality images but does not dissipate
heat as well as a larger one. It also requires a larger anode heat
capacity than a larger focal spot does.

To accommodate the many
different procedures performed, facilities may need additional equipment
such as patient monitors, defibrillators, contrast injectors, software for
specific imaging such as cardiac or vascular, and emergency resuscitation
devices.
